The Mid-Atlantic region experienced heavy precipitation this summer that was great for hydro generation, PJM staff told the Operating Committee.

NYISO recommended steps to prevent suppliers from collecting double payments for carbon-emission reductions that have already been captured by renewable energy credit contracts.

MISO said its grid can currently sustain 20% renewable penetration without damaging frequency response.

The 80 attendees who attended the inaugural Future Power Markets Summit in D.C. heard discussions on grid modernization and decentralization.

FERC clarified that Order 842 did not imply that existing generators are entitled to compensation for providing primary frequency response.

The PUCT issued requests for comments on real-time co-optimization and incorporating marginal losses into dispatch decisions.

Cheryl LaFleur, who has been attending the FERC reliability technical conference since her appointment, always opens the meeting by citing something special about each year’s gathering.

Fernandez told the PJM MIC that his staff are still completing calculations for retroactively reallocating costs for certain transmission projects.

PJM faced several high load forecasts and hot weather alerts last month but never had to take emergency procedures, the Operating Committee learned.
